Poetry for me is a way of living, it comes out of nowhere and I have to write it down. How I write, what I write, I decide. I am not asking you to be judgemental. I am gifted with the ability to see beyond the obvious.

hot summer thoughts

After going through the poem Argument by Elizabeth Bishop, I penned down the latter. Our poems are in no way similar.However, I wrote what my thoughts were after I read her work. I won't call it transcreated work.

Nice ending, and I like the turn at the mention of pain. Up until then, I wasn't sure if the memories were good or bad. I also like how the sand sculpture relates to the actual body of the person in the memory.

Great images of the hot asphalt and thinking about the waves.So many times in the heat of summer I think of the ocean and how it would be a relief. This has been my Thursday stop in! When school ends, I will have more time...

About Me

For someone who teaches mathematics, poetry comes easy. There are so many aspects about myself that are unknown even to me. Poetry is way to explore myself. Where it will lead me, I don't know. I don't want to know. I thrive on the unknown.
